Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

Two generators use the same magnetic field and operate at the same frequency. Each has a single-turn circular coil. One generato
Volgvan

Answer:

The coil radius of other generator is 5.15 cm

Explanation:

Consider the equation for induced emf in a generator coil:

EMF = NBAω Sin(ωt)

where,

N = No. of turns in coil

B = magnetic field

A = Cross-sectional area of coil = π r²

ω = angular velocity

t = time

It is given that for both the coils magnetic field, no. of turn and frequency is same. Since, the frequency is same, therefore, the angular velocity, will also be same. As, ω = 2πft.

Therefore, EMF for both coils or generators will be:

EMF₁ = NBπr₁²ω Sin(ωt)

EMF₂ = NBπr₂²ω Sin(ωt)

dividing both the equations:

EMF₁/EMF₂ = (r₁/r₂)²

r₂ = r₁ √(EMF₂/EMF₁)

where,

EMF₁ = 1.8 V

EMF₂ = 3.9 V

r₁ = 3.5 cm

r₂ = ?

Therefore,

r₂ = (3.5 cm)√(3.9 V/1.8 V)

<u>r₂ = 5.15 cm</u>

A capacitor with plates separated by a distance d is charged to a potential difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconne
Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial separation of plate = d

final separation = 2d

The capacitance of the capacitor will reduce from C to C/2 because

capacitance = ε A / d

d is distance between plates.

As the batteries are disconnected , charge on the capacitor becomes fixed .

Initial charge on the capacitor

= Capacitance x potential difference

Q = C ΔV

Final charge will remain unchanged

Final charge = C ΔV

Final capacitance = C/2

Final potential difference = charge / capacitance

= C ΔV /  C/2

= 2 ΔV

Potential difference is doubled after the pates are further separated.

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce
Novay_Z [31]
X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.
